BTW, what is the community etiquette on commenting on posts when you have banned the OP from replying to you?
I don't know what the community etiquette is, but social norms would dictate that that's a very bad idea. It's super rude to engage somebody who was forcibly muted.
If you think commenting is really important because you want to make a point that you care about a lot, then the best course of action would be to temporarily unban OP. Engage their post while giving them the opportunity to reply, then the next day ban them again.
